Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Pavlov VR
Spawn and gunfight chaos add modest noise
SpeedRunners
Item pickups add party-game chaos
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
